David Blatt




                 David Blatt was the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, until Friday when he got fired. He was replaced by the top assistant, Tyronn Lue. I was pretty surprised and shocked over this sudden decision, but there was a certain reason why he got fired. On Monday, January 18, the Cavaliers lost by 34 points to the Golden State warriors, which affected David Blatt. When they actually started talking about Blatt getting fired was the day when the Cavaliers lost to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas day. It wasn't much about because they lost, but how Blatt was rotating the players around differently and changing the player's roles. Lebron and the team were surprised when they got the shocking news on Friday. Some people are calling Lebron a "coach killer" because they think that he demanded Coach Blatt to get fired. Lebron said that it does suck that he got fired and he didn't have a say on getting him fired. This is true because the owner, David Griffin, confirmed that it was his own decision to fire David Blatt. On Friday, Blatt gave a short speech to the team and thanked everyone for giving him an opportunity to work with the Cavaliers. Tyronn Lue will not be a temporary coach, but will be the full-time coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers
